So excited

Ecstatic

This is gonna be great
Irate

Not what I expected



Wait look over there
I have to share


Oh no


I wasn’t aware

So unfair

Breathe



Sit
Shake
Breathe



This place is comfortable. I have everything I need. Backrest, privacy, and a can of whipped cream.

Pay no mind to the screams.
Pay no mind to everything overseen

By helicopters
Hovering


Looters
Running


Tears fill our eyes. Not for Floyd, not for me. Tears fill our eyes, we can’t see

A way forward

We don’t have the words
We can’t breathe


Sit

Shake

My walls would always be

white

and I would still believe in God
                              because he sees me

right?

Time never

Always moves       forward

I see you
        
mocking me with that
                                        tick
                                               tock

take a minute
        
                          tick

                 ­                  rest your hands.

TECHNOCRAT
gellison Mar 2021
We believe that in the next 10 years the value for autonomous vehicles, autonomous ride-hailing, autonomous food delivery, genomics, orbital transportation, digital wallets, and virtual reality will reach a

$100-QUINTABAJILLION

market cap.

Meanwhile, we suggest anyone without a
                      Ph.D. in either engineering or finance
move rapidly into social media influencing.

Soon, only 1 out of every 100 individuals in our society will need to work.

Let’s continue to pump the economy full of cash to inflate our asset prices and placate all of the losers sitting ****** on their couch watching virtual reality ****.

THE FUTURE WE'RE BUILDING

The fed gets out of bed and goes to the head.

Before he pees, he looks down and he sees,

those who don't own,
who will never be shown,

those who have none,
who markets shun,


and he pees.

Mother worries
but I'm in a hurry.

Mother made curry
but I'm in a hurry.

I know I'm all blurry
but I'm in a hurry.

why does she worry?

A treat
A bite
Something nice


All I need

Enough to feed

My belly
Is growling


A smile is enough
      I have enough stuff


Stuff my face
Keep my space

Not a trace





Thank you for the kind gesture

Once, I possessed a soul

I made not a dime
but it was fine

I was full.


Now I spend my days in myriad ways

money is might
it's constantly tight

   I am hungry.

Takes fools,

Takes fools,



makes them tools,

makes them fools.
